Pico Racer

Pico Racer is a new and exciting racing game for your Pico-8 console. Overtake opponents and avoid obstacles! Drive through the night! Race your way through three continents! Enjoy geography that makes no sense!

If you loved Buggy Boy and Pole Position in the arcades or Enduro on the Atari 2600, then this is the game for you.

Controls:

UP / X = ACCELERATE

DOWN / Z = BRAKE

LEFT/RIGHT = STEERING

Note: the downloadable file below is the Pico-8 cartridge, which means you need
Pico-8 to use it. If not, just stick with the above web version.

OK, I just noticed you need to click on the mute button on lower right corner of the game area and then the game has focus. Clicking on the game used to catch the focus but for some reason doesn't do it anymore.

Tee-hee! Works now. What a blast from the past. And I mean that in both good and bad ways. All those 90 degree turns are just too steep and too many for a racing game. At least up to the first checkpoint it's pretty forgiving.
